Hello Mr. Downing! Yes I did stay up to watch the ball drop, but we missed it because we couldnt find the remote for the television. I pronounce 2010 like "Two Thousand Ten."

I say 2010 like two thousand and ten.

Well I did stay up and watch the ball drop. It was cool. I will never forget it until next year. I pronounce 2010 as "o-ten." I guess this it just my special way of saying it.

Let me start by saying Happy New Year Mr. Downing. Second I pronounce 2010 probable every way you have heard it. How I pronounce it depends solely on how I wish to say it at the time.

I'm not really exactly sure if there really is a correct way to pronounce it. But the way I say 2010 is two thousand ten.

Unknown said...

I pronounce it Twenty-ten. I think it makes more sense that way. Yes I stayed up to watch the ball drop it was pretty cool.

I stayed up to see the ball drop. I have pronounced it both ways, but usually i say "twenty-ten."

Silky said...

I pronounce 2010 as "twenty-ten" as it rolls off of the tongue smoothly. As of yet, I find no problem with my pronunciation.

brooke said...

I did stay up New Year's, but I didn't watch the ball drop. And I say two o ten.

muzykr said...

It depends on who I am talking to. In normal conversation I say two thousand ten but when I'm in school talking about the year I graduate I usually say twenty-ten.

Unknown said...

I pronounce 2010 as Twenty-ten. I say it that way because it just sounds right. I think that Two- thousand and ten just does not sound right.

jzilla said...

I have thought that pronouncing this year would be somewhat difficult. I have mostly refered to it as "Two Thousand Ten" and of course I stayed up all night.

Unknown said...

Hey Mr. Downing, Yes I stayed up all night New Years Eve! I pronounce 2010 as “two thousand and ten“ because that’s what I’m use to saying, an I don’t see a point of changing it now.

domr said...

There is only one way to pronounce it. It's pronounced twenty-ten, not two-thousand ten or two thousand and ten. The class of two-thousand ten sounds horrible.
